KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum No improvement under Klopp......yet

One thing I think we have learnt this season is that Rodgers must have been sacked mainly for bringing in such poor quality players at such high prices. Everyone was expecting Klopp to make us considerably better but it's looking like he can do no more with the current squad than Brendan managed.

Rodgers sacked on 4th October:
12 points from 8 games
Goal difference of minus 2
Precisely 1.5 points per games

Today:
30 points from 20 games
Goal difference of minus 2
Precisely 1.5 points per game

I rest my case and re-iterate an earlier point I made that Rodgers was clearly not a bad coach - just an awful judge of player. If Rodgers was that bad, Klopp would surely be doing better?

My biggest concern is that Klopp says he's more interested in working with the players currently at the club than making additions. I just hope that recent performances have changed his mind because we are going nowhere at the moment. Our recent defeats haven't been a surprise at all. The only surprises this season have been the games against Man City & Southampton. As far as I'm concerned, impressive victories for a club like Liverpool should not be a surprise.

I'm not usually one to want wholesale changes in the transfer window but we desperately need it at the moment, ASAP. Sure we could wait until next season but CL money is increasing and there is a big risk of the EPL losing it's champions league spot. Utd are doing badly and chelsea's season is as good as finished so why aren't Liverpool capitalising and grabbing a CL spot?? This should be a good chance for us to get back into Europe's elite but instead we're getting embarrassed by watford, west ham & crystal palace whilst playing shockingly bad football. The greatest coaches of all time would fail to get a performance or any kind of consistency out of allen, lallana, firmino, benteke, coutinho, ibe, moreno, clyne, mignolet etc etc.

Please, let's get at least 2 or 3 players in this month!!

Yeah I hope he was just trying to keep prices down by saying that. Even with a fully fit squad we could use some better players but with our injuries it's a must.

Good post and I agree with all of that Darcus, some think appointing a new manager is some kind of magic trick that’ll win us the league, but they must now know that no manager is a merlin, and no manager can make a silk purse from a sow’s ear. Where we are at now, after 400m spent, was entirely predictable and indeed some of us did predict it, and were taken to task for our trouble. We need a change of recruitment policy, and we need to stop recruiting prospects until such time as we have a first eleven including back up that are comparable to the top sides in the PL. When all the analysis and debating is done, it’s the quality of players at a competent managers disposal that wins titles.

Perhaps those results are a blessing in disguise, showing Klopp the true mettle of the players under his disposal.

Players normally respond to the lift of a new manager. See QPR a few seasons back for example. Ours aren't even capable of that!

Klopp knows players read the news, he can't just say they will be replaced that will just hurt moral even more

and from interviews his clear reason for disliking January is the bad deals and lack of availability, even if teams want to sell they will not do it mid-season without a big mark-up

he would get a player if it is the right deal and not another budget wasting Andy Carroll like maybe Kostic

and people calm down, its barley been 12 weeks with an injury hit squad

Klopp is going to build a whole new midfield for next season

Bye bye
Lucas
Allen
Milner
Ibe to be loaned out
Emre on the bench

Only hendo will start from this squad

its easy to blame rodgers but the manor of these defeats are bad ,klopp is setting them up like this his tactics are getting found out quickly , bilic is only new to the premier league his tactics were spot on same with quique sanchez flores he out thought klopp , so did mc claren he needs to start earning his money klopp , season is far from over but soon could be if these sort of disaster performances continue , dreading stoke tuesday if they have a lead from the 1st leg for me that will be tie over , big problem at LFC and klopp needs to deal with it quick , i see people saying he will buy well wont those players need to bed in because looking at firmino they will need a very very long time .

Will lallana Allen ever bed in

How long have they been at the club ???... Too fvcking long for me ..,

Fergie wud struggle doing anything with brodge team...

Enjoy this season's roller coaster ride of up's & downs..,.

Klopp season starts in the summer

Lallana is 27, English with a silly beard,what's his excuse?
